Sadio Mane says he will “understand” if Liverpool are denied winning the Premier League title due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Jurgen Klopp’s runaway leaders looked destined to lift their first top-flight trophy in 30 years until English football was brought to a halt amid the pandemic which has gripped the world.
As it stands the 2019/20 campaign has been suspended indefinitely
and will only resume when it is deemed safe and appropriate to do so, although calls have been made to make the season null and void.
That would stop Liverpool winning the title, despite their huge 25-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City and being just two wins away from being crowned champions.

“I want to win the games and I want to get the trophy, it’s what I would love,” Mane told talkSPORT. “But with this situation, whatever happens I will understand.
“It has been difficult for Liverpool, but it has been more difficult for many millions of people around the world. Some people have lost family members and that is the more complicated situation.
“But for myself, it’s my dream and I want to win it this year. If that’s not the case, I will accept, it’s part of life. Hopefully we will win it next year.”
Liverpool were handed a boost on Tuesday when UEFA president Aleksander Caferin said he could see ”no way” that Klopp’s side could finish the season without the Premier League title.
